The Detroit Free Press reported that the group did not seem to have a big footprint. Its name was not found in local or federal court records or corporate registration.

A video by the group on YouTube and a Twitter account that used the logo as its avatar were taken down over the weekend.

CNN and other news organizations were unsuccessful in reaching the group for comment.

The Red Wings denounced the use of the logo Saturday: “The Detroit Red Wings vehemently disagree with and are not associated in any way with the event taking place today in Charlottesville, Va. The Red Wings believe that hockey is for everyone, and we celebrate the great diversity of our fan base and our nation. We are exploring every possible legal action as it pertains to the misuse of our logo in this disturbing demonstration.”

The NHL said: “We are obviously outraged by the irresponsible and improper use of our intellectual property as seen this weekend in Charlottesville, Va. This specific use is directly contrary to the value of inclusiveness that our league prioritizes and champions. We will take immediate and all necessary steps to insure the use is discontinued as promptly as possible and will vigorously pursue other remedies as appropriate.”

A database of hate group symbols, maintained by the Anti-Defamation League, does not include the Right Wings logo. The symbols it does depict lean heavily on Nazi iconography, not sports.

But some of the symbols, like the altered Red Wings logo, might not be immediately seen as hateful to an uninformed observer. The number 88, for example, when displayed by a neo-Nazi, is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H, with HH standing for Heil Hitler.
